1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Langerhans' cells (LC) represent the major antigen-presenting cells within the epidermis. Following exposure of the skin to antigen, LC take up antigen, migrate into draining lymph nodes (DLN) and present processed antigen to T lymphocytes, thereby initiating an immune response. The molecular mechanisms responsible for LC migration remain unclear. Cytokines, in particular tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) have been suggested to influence LC migration. There are two distinct membrane receptors for TNF-alpha, TNF receptor I (TNF-R1, p55) and TNF receptor II (TNF-R2, p75), thought to be responsible for distinct TNF-alpha activities. It is believed that most of TNF biological activities are mediated via TNF-R1. In order to examine the role of TNF-R1 signalling in LC migration, we utilized TNF-R1 gene-targeted mutant mice. Following application of the hapten fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), FITC-bearing cells in DLN were examined by flow cytometry. A normal number of FITC+/Ia+ cells (LC) were found in DLN from TNF-R1-deficiency mice, suggesting that TNF-R1-dependent signalling is not crucial for LC migration. To investigate the possibility of signalling through TNF-R2, blocking studies using a neutralizing anti-TNF-alpha antibody were performed. The results revealed that anti-TNF-alpha antibody significantly inhibited LC accumulation in DLN in TNF-R1-deficient mice, thus suggesting that TNF-R2 signalling is involved in LC migration from skin to DLN and that murine LC express TNF-R2.
